PlaneReports Verified

Records a buyer can trust.
Sale-ready proof for a seller.

Getting your aircraft PlaneReports Verified turns a shoebox of logbooks into a verified, shareable history report — with a badge and window sticker that tell a buyer the records have been checked. It says nothing about whether the airplane is airworthy; it says the records have been verified. That's the whole point.

What "PlaneReports Verified" means — and what it doesn't

✓ What it verifies

  • The public record — registration, title & liens, NTSB history, AD list — was checked and is disclosed.
  • Your logbooks were read, and are continuous and internally consistent across the span they cover.
  • The coverage span is stated plainly — you always see how far back the records go.
  • On the premium tier, a licensed A&P/IA independently reviewed the records and signed off.

✕ What it does not mean

  • It is not an FAA certification or an airworthiness determination.
  • It is not a judgment that the aircraft is well-maintained, safe, or a good buy.
  • It is not a claim that the records are complete — only that what's provided was verified.
  • It is not a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection or a review of the original logbooks.
Money buys the review, not the badge. If the records don't meet the standard, you get an honest findings list — not a badge. There's no score to pay your way past, and disclosing a lien or a past incident never disqualifies you. Hiding one does.

What earns the badge

A submission is Verified only when every item is satisfied. Each one is a fact we can check — none of it is an opinion about the airplane.

Identity & title verifiedRegistration active and matched to the airframe; ownership/title chain reviewed. A broken chain blocks; a disclosed lien does not.
Public record checked & disclosedTitle & lien search, NTSB cross-reference, and the applicable AD list — compiled and shown on the certificate.
Logbooks read & legibleAirframe, engine, and propeller logs plus current inspection records provided and successfully machine-read.
Continuous & consistentNo unexplained gaps or out-of-sequence entries; time/tach math, signatures, 337s, and AD revisions all reconcile.
Coverage span disclosedThe certificate states exactly what period the records cover — a short history can never read as a lifetime one.
Premium: signed by an A&P/IAOn the premium tier, a licensed mechanic reviews the records and signs the attestation — a review of records, not an inspection.

Every member tier

Your airplane's story, told on your terms.

The public FAA, NTSB & AD record always shows for any tail — that's the honest baseline no one can edit. Everything you add is yours to share or keep private. Members set it all from one panel.

The public record is always honest

Registration, ownership, NTSB history and AD status come straight from federal records. They show for every tail — no one can hide them.

Your records, your call

Logbooks, borescope sets, oil analyses, receipts — the records you add are yours. Share them to prove your care, or keep your vault private. Per category, anytime.

Nothing hidden, nothing to hide

Not sharing simply reads as "partially documented" — never a gap we covered up. Complete records earn the "extensively documented" band: provable care that sells.

Live

You're listed & sharing

Your enriched report is public: your verified records, condition evidence, and (if you choose) costs appear alongside the federal baseline. This is the sale-ready state — deepest documentation, most buyer confidence.

Private

You've gone quiet

Your compiled report and uploaded records are hidden. Anyone looking up your tail still sees the free FAA / NTSB / AD baseline — you simply read as "partially documented" until you choose to share more. Nothing about the public facts changes.

What a buyer sees

Because owners control their own records, every report carries a short, honest note so a buyer knows how to read it — turning "the owner has control" into a reason to trust the report, not doubt it.

How to read this report

The federal record here is complete and unedited. Owner-added records deepen the picture — a fuller report means a better-documented airplane, and a thin one tells you something too.
